Points and Projects

Sometimes certain website interfaces are annoying.  Apparently video games don't work either because I just overheard Dave cussing it out.  Maybe it's just one of those moments when things just want to bother us.  He's continuing to swear at his and I'm still silently cursing the one I'm trying to work on.  To quote Dave, "Why won't this work?!!"  Sigh, I don't want to give up on it because it's already long past due but this is just plain frustrating.  It's just told me that the plug in has become unresponsive again.  WTF?  Ah well, I'll just keep plugging away at it.

Dave and I did get to spend some quality time together today though.  The person he was supposed to train today had to reschedule so he was able to take a personal day.  We also were able to plan a relatively inexpensive getaway for February.  I'm really excited about it.  I continued to look online for different things for our apartment.  What we realized is that we earn so many more points on our credit card if we simply make the purchases online rather than in the store.  The two of us decided that we eventually would like our points to pay for us to go on a Mediterranean Cruise with our points.  Sadly, something like that is super expensive but in the last year, we've already earned almost $1,000 in points.  So it's totally doable.  A Mediterranean Cruise is a dream of mine.  How cool would it be to go for free?

Thing is, we are buying items and spending money on things we would pay for anyway.  With this card and earning points that don't expire, each thing we purchase actually gives us more money toward our cruise.  So yeah, we're looking at making our purchases at stores that earn us 4-20 points per dollar we spend to earn them quickly.  Oddly enough, it will actually help me stay within budget.  Shopping at Kohls earns us 10 points per dollar, JCPenney 6 points per dollar, and the majority of big point stores are more budget friendly.  So yeah, so reason to look at Anthrolopogie this year.  My clothing with be bought at the cheaper department stores. Even the annoying project from about will be worth 4 points per dollar.    So yeah, super excited!
